Back in the 40s, we used to play mumbledepeg with our pocket knives during recess.

By the time I was in school mumbledepeg was a word never heard. We did carry pocket knives though and it was not a big deal.

Yup....my life in the 50's....and I was only 6,7,8...... Everyone had a pen knife.

Marbles was next. My uncle owned a machine shop....and kids would give up 10 glass for my shiny ball bearing.
